Mary was John's second wife. He married a Frances Bruce in 1800 (Frances is my gg grandmother). John Smith lived in East Pennsboro Twp. (1810 Census). In this same township (1810 Census) were living two Thomas Fishers and their families. One Thomas was over 45 years, wife also over 45, two males 16-25, two females 16-25, and two females under 10. This could be Mary's family. The other Thomas was between 26 and 45 in age, wife also 26-45, six males 16-26, one male under 10, two females 16-25. Also listed in the census for this Thomas 5 slaves. By the age you described your Thomas, this could be yours. I remember reading that a Samuel was the father of Thomas. John and Mary Fisher Smith were members of Silver Springs Presbyterian Church, Mechanicsburg, PA. Do you have information on either of these two Thomas Fishers?
